UNDERSTANDING KINGDOM ECONOMICS

Romans 13:8
Proverbs 13:11

God wants it to be well with your finances but you have to know it. 3John 2.
God wishes to bless your personal economy, but you, as a child of God needs to know it is part of God's will for you. Deuteronomy 28:1-13

The world we live in has it's own financial economic system. The world we live in has it's own way of bringing and creating wealth for those who line up to it's way of operating.
The Kingdom of God also has it's own financial and economic system which sons and daughters of God need to operate to get the results in the area of money and economics that He wants them to get. Luke 16:8

Let's understand this, lack does not glorify God.
On the other hand we are not supposed to feel guilty when we don't have money or when we have worked so hard and streams of income is not flowing in our direction.

What we need to do is make up our minds not to be ignorant of what God wants us to have or be.
We are here on earth to bring God pleasure and bring God glory.
The Bible tells us God has pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. Psalm 35:27

What is prosperity?
Prosperity is an all encompassing Word.
Prosperity refers to your well being. Prosperity is your well being in all areas of your life.

Your finances/your economy is an aspect of your prosperity. Other aspects of your prosperity include:
a) your health
b) your state of mind, emotions and will
c)  your social life
d) your spiritual life (your relationship with God)

Your finances are important. When your finances or economic condition is out of place it affects or disturbs other areas of your life.

A statistic shows that 80% of divorces on earth today is financial related.
A couple who love  each other dearly and vowed before God and men that they will be loyal to each other and spend the rest of their lives together all of a sudden become rivals, enemies and start trading insults, disrespecting each other over issues linked to money.
Saints of God, let's not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy. 2 Corinthians 2:11
Satan doesn't attack the finances of God's children for nothing.
There is a reason Satan attacks the finances of church assemblies.

Money/finances play a crucial part in your life and affairs and it's part of the reason your personal economy is important to God.
The Bible talks more about money than hell.
The reason for this is because the stress of financial issues takes people away from God and stops them from living the life God wants them to live.
God's work and assemblies should be cities of prosperity. Zechariah 1:17
Your finances is important because one day you will give an account of your life to God.
We are stewards of everything God gives to us including our finances. Matthew 25:14-30

Many people see teachings that touch on finances as  materialistic messages. This wrong thinking.
People who think this way might as well accuse God of being materialistic since the Bible instructs so much about finances, giving and our intentions around money.
The prosperity message is an obedience message, it's not a carnal message.
There are instructions around money/finances that have to be obeyed before we get results.
We will do well to know them and look into them.
The financial empowerment message is not intended to turn people into lovers of money, our love is for God but the purpose of the message is to show us our rights and tackle a very important issue. Ecclesiastes 5:10

If we are going to fulfill our dreams, carry out our assignments, preach the gospel, make an impact, we will have to have the resources to do so.
It is through prosperity the gospel is spread.

There are unbelievers who prosper financially because they follow the rules and laws of financial prosperity knowingly or unknowingly.
God respects the laws and principles He set into place.
There are Kingdom laws or instructions that if known and followed can create your financial abundance

How do we tap into Kingdom Prosperity?
1) Giving to the poor- Luke 12:33
2) Tithing- Malachi 3:10
3) Use creativity- Proverbs 8:12
4) Generosity with wisdom- 1 Timothy 6:18, Deuteronomy 15:7
5) Work hard- Proverbs 10:4, Proverbs 12:27
King Solomon a very wise King was an advocate of hard work. Work brings wealth when one is wise.
6) Be part of God's Kingdom- Colossians 1:13
7) Meet needs/solve problems- 1 Peter 5:2,3

God frowns at dishonest means of making money. Exodus 22:25, Deuteronomy 23:19

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...

Malachi 4:2 Your soul is a vital part of your life. Your soul is part of who you are. Your soul needs to function well for things to go well with you. Your prosperity is linked to your soul. 3 John 2 Your soul is the decision making center of your life. God cares about the state of your soul. God created your soul and wants your soul to function well. It is the will of God that your soul is preserved until the coming back of Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Your soul is made up of your will, your mind and your emotions. You need your will, your mind and your emotions to function properly and to be regarded as a well balanced human being. Your soul is valuable and the enemy wants it. Your soul is part of the reason you are saved and a part of God's kingdom. 2 Corinthians 4:3,4 We are spirits who have a soul and live in a body. When your soul is wounded As our natural bodies can be affected, so can our souls. As we can have physical wounds and sores caused b...
